Looking at the total projected cost of a college education over the course of two / four (or more) years can feel a little overwhelming. However, doing so will help better prepare you for the financial commitment you are making.

The overall cost for on-campus students to attend SIUE in 2020 - 2021 was $25,197. To calculate future costs, we looked at the prior five years of data and determined that this cost increased an average of 0.9% each year. If this trend continues, we expect the full cost for incoming freshmen to be $25,663 during their first year. By their senior year, that cost will be approximately $26,378 for a bachelor degree candidate ($25,899 for an associate degree candidate) for a total of $104,076 over the course of four years ($51,562 over the course of two years). These numbers do not take into consideration financial aid, which reduces this overall cost by varying amounts per student.
